<p>When a college asks for an essay that is "at least one typewritten page", do they mean single or double-spaced?</p>
<p>The reason I ask is that my Villanova supplement essay is about a page and a half double spaced, and I really don't want to add anything else to it.</p>
<p>Is your current essay double-spaced?</p>
<p>Can you call the admissions office and ask? If you’ll be in school, can you have a parent ask? Is there anything on Villanova’s website that gives more info?</p>
<p>My current essay is double-spaced.</p>
<p>I could call the admissions office, but it just seems like it would be a waste of their time with a simple question like this. I figured I’d get a simple, straightforward answer on CC.</p>
<p>The problem is that a CC answer might just be a guess…and a wrong guess at that. call the school and ask.</p>
<p>My son got into Villanova last year. His app was 510 words (just checked), which was one single spaced page. Since font can make a difference, go by word count. I’d say 500-600 words is about right. Good luck!</p>
